scandal and the first public comments from the woman at center of it all a woman who said if she was a spy she could easily have gotten secrets from the agent who hired her. this happened ahead of the president's trip to colombia. a dozen secret service agents accused of hiring prostitutes and taking them back to this hotel. one agent refused to pay for services rendered and a prostitute made a scene. she says she was that woman and she held a news conference with reporters from all over the world calling i in to the radio station. one reporter asked how it all happen. >> we didn't create a scene in the hallway. we didn't scream or anything. it was all very reserved. when that happened it was 9:30 a.m. in the morning and i said i'm he not going to waste more time here with these men. i leave the hallway and told the officer i need to speak to you about something but i don't know how to tell you i'm

embarrassed. the officer said tell me he because that is why i'm here if you need something or something happened to you, tell me. >> she says she took that officer to confront the agent. >> he tells me let's go to the room and figure out what is going on. when we got to the room the officer knocked on his door and he did not open. but at the bottom of the door he could tell he was standing there on the other side and did not want to open. he knew that the police was there and he did not care because if he cared and did not want problems he would have just given me the money and nothing would have happened. no, that is not how it went. i told the officer call a police mapp that speaks english because i want my money 86 called you and created a scene and now his colleagues are coming into the hallway and now i'm determined to get my money because now everyone know hass is going on. i'm not going home without my money. >> she says so far nobody from the u.s. government has contacted her to ask about her

story. molly henneberg with the story. i know you spoke with that prostitute this morning. what did she tell you. >> she says some of the suit cases were open and she saw pages in his hotel room but nothing that linked him specifically to president obama. >> i didn't see anything special. the only thing i saw was a uniform that could have been military uniform for any soldier but did not see anything else is. >> reporter: she says the agents begged her not to call police but she did. she wanted to be paid. she insists she never wanted this to be public and that it has "damaged her life." >> she says nobody in the government has contacted her, even the secret service. why not? >> that was a bit of a surprise when i asked her to discuss conversations she had with u.s. officials. >> she hasn't had any contact with any person from the american government and she said if they wanted to track

her they could easily do it and they haven't done so. >> that already is raising eyebrows on capitol hill. peter king says the secret service says it could not find two of the 12 women involved in the scandal including apparently suarez. congressman king said in the statement i asked the secret service for an explanation of how they have failed to find this woman when the news media seems to have no trouble doing so. at least 8 secret service agents fired or resigned in the wake of the scandal. >> the homeland security committee says one of the men failed a lie detector test. three of the 12 agents refused to take the polygraph. those men were among the first to be forced out of their jobs. hiring slowed down and one expect says we are getting dangerously close to a trend. the labor department reports the economy added 115,000 jobs in april. the lowest level all year and

and tried to make the case there was some good news which there was about private sector are job growth. take a listen. >> this morning we learned that our economy created 130,000 private sector jobs in april and the unemployment rate ticked down again so after the worst economic crisis since the great depression our businesses have now created more than 4.2 million new jobs over the last 26 months. >> but as you noted the reason why the rate came down mostly is from people who gave up looking for work so they are no longer counted by the government. the president has a vulnerability there and that is why he is doing two things. tomorrow going on the road officially kicking off the reelection campaign with public rallies in ohio and virginia and i'm told by white house officials he will launch a new push to try to push congress to items from theye tells from

jobs mill. >> mitt romney said a good economy should be creating 500,000 jobs a month, among other things. >> that is a big number obviously. he also said the unemployment rate should only be 4%. is hard to reach. the last time nationally it was down to % was i 4 close was ine clinton years. when governor romney was in the state of massachusetts the best he did on a state level was 4.7% unemployment. some wall street analysts say to get back to a normal level of unemployment of about 5% most economists say you would need to create 250,000 jobs a month for the next five years. whoever is president next year are they got a big hole to fill. >> we are a long way from that. ed henry at the white house. thank you. the drop in hiring rattled wall street and added to investor's fears that the economic recovery may be stalling. the dow fell 168 points. the nasdaq down 68 for its worst day since november and the s&p 500 down 2 capping off
